When I do demonstrations for woodturning clubs, I show a Powerpoint of my process of making. That’s a bit difficult to do in a blog post, but I have some series shots posted on my Facebook woodturning site. If you would like to see some images of the making of one of my carved spheres, or my gingko leaf form, Remembrance, check out the photo album: From Start to Finish Pics

I appeared on NPR’s Here & Now news show on May 9, 2019, to talk about the recent UN Report on Biodiversity. Check out the interview to learn more about the challenges for plants in the current extinction crisis.

Ray Key was a larger-than-life character, and a masterful woodturner. He passed away in September 2018. In honor of his memory, more than 100 woodturners from around the globe were sent rough-turned pieces that were in Ray’s shop at the time of his death. Each artist was asked to complete the piece in their signature style. This post is a story about my memories of Ray Key.

Women in Turning EXCHANGE 2018. One of the more important missions of the WIT Committee is to facilitate interaction among women turners, and to encourage women to help each other learn. A prime example of the kinds of interactions that foster this positive environment is the WIT EXCHANGE that takes place in September, at Arrowmont. We had our first, ever, EXCHANGE last fall.
